1st Floor - 101
Distinctive two-level commercial space at 9 East University Avenue spanning the main floor and a finished basement — approximately 1,960 SF total. A dramatic open-to-below feature carries double-height ceilings through the main retail room (19'11" × 34'9"), with an interior stair connecting the two levels. The existing buildout — exposed painted brick, hardwood floors, full-perimeter track lighting, and a custom-built counter — gives the space immediate character without a heavy TI commitment. Best suited to destination tenants — boutique retail, gallery, specialty café, studio, salon, showroom, or creative office — where customers and clients seek the space out rather than stumble in. The block already attracts established creative and professional firms, making 9 E University an address that signals seriousness to clients without competing on impulse foot traffic.

2nd Floor, Ste 201
Designer-grade upstairs loft at 9 East University Avenue with a buildout that's hard to replicate at office pricing. The 1,423 SF main level features exposed white-painted ceiling beams, white painted brick walls, dark hardwood floors, a full kitchen, and a private bath. A floating steel staircase leads to a bonus loft mezzanine — open to below, with pendant lighting hung into the double-height volume. Well-suited to design studios, creative agencies, architecture and photography firms, software teams, gallery operators, and professional services that want a space that reflects them. The aesthetic is gallery-clean and photo-ready — well past 'serviceable office,' priced like an office.

Rent Types
The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.
1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.
2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.
3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.
4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses. The landlord will pay the remaining expenses. See the below list of common Modified Gross rental rate structures: 4. Plus All Utilities: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of utilities in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of cleaning in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Electric & Cleaning: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the electrical and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Plus Utilities and Char: A type of Modified Gross Lease where the tenant is responsible for their proportional share of the utilities and cleaning cost in addition to the rent. 4. Industrial Gross: A type of Modified Gross lease where the tenant pays one or more of the expenses in addition to the rent. The landlord and tenant determine these prior to signing the lease agreement.
5. Tenant Electric: The landlord pays for all services and the tenant is responsible for their usage of lights and electrical outlets in the space they occupy.
6. Negotiable or Upon Request: Used when the leasing contact does not provide the rent or service type.
7. TBD: To be determined; used for buildings for which no rent or service type is known, commonly utilized when the buildings are not yet built.
